Are you tired of the forums that your competition and clients are on? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
Our forum is focused on women who own a photography business. Our focus is on marketing our businesses; taking our businesses and photography to the next level; assisting our peers with client issues; and sharing our reviews on workshops, products and marketing techniques.
We believe that photographers can and should work together to strengthen our industry and businesses. We understand the hesitation on other forums in doing so when your competition and/or clients are or can become members.
While our blog and Facebook group are open to the public, our forum is not.
And here’s why:
How are we different from other forums?
• We are only accepting limited applications.
• Applications accepted are based on zip code and the requirements listed below.
• No other photographer within 45 miles of your zip code will be accepted.
• This protects you from local competition and allows you the freedom to share openly!
• You may be placed on a waiting list, if your area is taken.
The requirements for membership:
• You must be legally set up as a photography business per your location’s laws (ie, sales tax #, registered as a business, paying taxes, etc.)
• You must have a web presence (website, blogsite or blog). This will be reviewed for your technical skills. You must have a firm grasp on exposure and focus.
• You must have the desire to actively participate in marketing strategies with other photographers around the world.
• You must have been legally in business at least 1 year.
• Members who are not active and do not post anything within a 30 day period are subject to losing their membership. If a membership is terminated due to non-participation a refund, in whole or part, will not be issued.
What can you expect:
• Sharing marketing ideas open and freely.
• Sharing marketing materials and templates (must be created by the member, we do not condone sharing of paid materials from vendors).
• Networking with peers.
• Advance your skills with other photographers, like you, who have a firm grasp of the basics of photography and a legal business set up.
• Reviews of workshops, vendors and products.
By submitting your application you are agreeing to the membership rules and requirements listed above.
Are you ready? Our membership is $50 each 6 months. APPLY HERE! If you are approved, you will receive an invoice and login information to the forum. Invoices MUST be paid within 10 days or they will be cancelled and you must reapply.
*Please allow 5-7 business days to hear back on acceptance. If you do not hear back, your area was taken.
*If you are a member and move into an area already taken, your membership is subject to cancellation based on our zip code restriction.
*Please note, this forum is not for you if you are still learning the basics of your camera. We can recommend a forum for you, if you are still in the learning stages.
